London’s cops are importing policing methods from Chicago, which is less safe than the Sunni triangle, and rather than arresting masked hate-criminals at the crime scene they’re relying on movies to track them down. Londoners should replace this shower with 10 Texas Rangers.

WHEN Britain seeks to learn lessons from American police it triggers headlines about “Robocop” or Judge Dredd. But now a gentler voice is coming from the other side of the Atlantic, talking about communities, trust and listening.

The police chief of Chicago will this week talk to Ken Livingstone, the Mayor of London, and Sir Ian Blair, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner, about implementing a softly-softly approach to the battle against crime in the capital.

This does not compute:

The number of murders in Chicago in 2004, at 448, was the lowest since 1965. The city has a population of 2.8 million against 7.3 million for London, which had 194 murders in that year.

Soo…every Chicagoan has a 2,800,000/448 chance of being murdered each year – that’s 1 in 6,250. Whereas every Londoner has a 7,300,000/194 chance of being murdered each year, that’s 1 in 37,628.

That makes Londoners 6 times less likely to be whacked than Chicagoans. Hmmm.

Scotland Yard said it was studying film of the protests but refused to say if any prosecutions would go ahead.

“This should not be seen as a sign of a lack of activity. Specialist officers were deployed to record any potential event, should it be needed at any point in the future.” She said the Crown Prosecution Service was responsible for deciding whether to press charges.

Here’s the profile of the nation whose embassies Muslims are burning. Danes are brave, trustworthy, tolerant, hard working, productive, wealthy and honest – the opposite end of the spectrum to their adversaries.

“We have to show our opposition to Islam and we have to, at times, run the risk of having unflattering labels placed on us because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance.

With the only NATO army that whacked the SerbsThe Serbs in Bosnia made the mistake of assuming the Danish tanks would, like their NATO allies, run or surrender when attacked:

…Shortly after the clash, the Bosnian Serbs reported the loss of 9 men. But other sources estimate it to around 150 soldiers having been killed and a similar number wounded. The Danes themselves suffered no casualties.

The rescue allowed the vast majority of Denmark’s Jewish population to avoid
capture by the Nazis and is considered to be one of the largest actions of
collective resistance to repression in the countries occupied by Nazi Germany.
